Village Head Acknowledges Inadequate Drying Space for Rice Causes Crash Injuring 3
A crash occurred when a motorcycle carrying a mother and her two sons collided with a pile of rice being dried on a road. The incident took place on the evening of November 21 on the Nong Mod Daeng–Bo Din road in Tajoong Subdistrict, Lahan Sai District, Buriram Province. The victims, Mrs. Sukanya, 49, her eldest son Phutawan 17, and her youngest son, 11, were returning home after selling goods at the market when the crash happened. They were rushed to the hospital for treatment and are now recovering at home. Phutawan, who was driving the motorcycle, recounted that the road was dark, and he could not see the pile of rice in time to avoid it. The collision rendered him unconscious until rescuers arrived. Mr. Teerapong, 24, the owner of the nearby rice harvester and the first to assist, said he witnessed the crash and rushed to help. He described the heartbreaking moment when the 11-year-old boy, despite being seriously injured with an open wound on the back of his head pleaded for him to help his mother first. Village Head Mr. Pramuan, 59, admitted that the issue of rice drying on roads remains difficult to resolve. Farmers often harvest their rice simultaneously, and the lack of adequate drying spaces forces many to resort to drying rice on roads. Selling wet rice is not a viable option due to lower prices. Mrs. Yupa, 55, the owner of the rice involved in the crash, explained that she had placed the rice on the road less than an hour before the crash occurred. She had planned to spread it for drying after returning from home but was informed of the incident by villagers. Mrs. Yupa expressed deep regret over the incident, stating, “I used this newly constructed road because it is rarely used by vehicles. This was my first time drying rice here, and it ended in a crash. I feel sorry for the victims and have offered them some financial assistance. I will no longer dry rice on roads, even if it means selling wet rice at a lower price.” This incident highlights the ongoing challenges faced by farmers and the safety risks associated with drying rice on public roads. Authorities and local leaders are urged to find sustainable solutions to prevent such incident in the future. Picture from responders. -- 2024-11-24 -
